You shouldn't have alcohol and such foods as high-fat meals or grapefruit juice since sometimes, they may interact with many medications. It is also advisable to discuss with your health care provider in case of any anxiety or doubts concerning your medication.

Dizziness comes from dehydration, low blood sugar, ear problems like vertigo, or neurological issues. But it needs a proper evaluation and medical history to determine the underlying cause. It is advisable to visit an ENT specialist or a neurologist.

I’ve been feeling really tired/sleepy and just completely out of it for just about a week and i’m not sure why
Male | 18
Constant exhaustion for seven days is challenging. Various factors contribute to persistent fatigue. Insufficient rest or heightened anxiety sometimes depletes energy. Consuming nutritious meals and engaging in physical activity may alleviate this condition. However, if lethargy persists, consulting a healthcare professional is advisables.

Can I take Moringa tea and still take my hiv drugs at night
Female | 21
Moringa may sometimes interfere with how the body absorbs HIV drugs, potentially reducing their effectiveness. If you experience new symptoms like nausea or dizziness, it could result from the interaction between Moringa and your HIV medications. Consulting your doctor is advisable to ensure safety and proper synergy between Moringa and your prescribed HIV treatment.

I am supposed to see my doctor again in 5 months after she diagnosed me with anemia and prescribed iron tablets. I now have acne thqt is so bad, i striggle to poop and my vagina bleeds even though I don't have my period and the bllos is brown
Female | 25
Acne, difficulty pooping, and vaginal bleeding are separate issues needing attention. Hormonal changes or diet often cause acne. Pooping trouble could relate to anemia or lack of fiber. Vaginal bleeding may stem from an infection or hormonal imbalance. These symptoms require discussing with a healthcare provider for proper treatment.

Female | 23
As for bruising, it occurs if the blood vessels near the skin's surface are injured. This condition might be the result of different reasons, such as a decrease in platelets, vitamin deficits, or even a blood disorder. Insist on having a balanced diet with a sufficient amount of vitamins and iron. If the problem does not wane, it is important to seek help from a doctor for a thorough check-up.

Female | 51
From the symptoms you have given, it is likely that your sister’s sleep disorders arises from her diabetes complication. I suggest that you see a sleep expert and get her tested to determine the kind of treatment needed. In terms of her falls, it is necessary to consider a neurologist in order not to miss any underlying issue with the nervous system. Make sure you consult your doctor every time an issue pertaining to health arises.

Child age is 14, having fever 103,104... severe headache, vomiting. What medicine can we give
Male | 14
I would suggest neither of the medicines to be taken without a doctor's consultation. Fever of 103-104°F accompanied with the headache and vomiting is a sign of a severe infection. It is significant to consult a pediatrician as a matter of priority in the diagnosis and treatment of the condition.

Female | 17
You shouldn't take medicine without any proper prescription and guidance from the health care provider. Pioz 15 is a drug that treats diabetes and taking it without being diabetic may cause harm to your body. It would be in your best interest to consult an endocrinologist for appropriate assessment and direction.

recently i am thinking of taking supplement for my body for general fitness , supplements like (fishoil, multivitamin, zinc, magnesium, ashwagandha and collagen supplement and creatine) so my concern is is it safe to take all these supplement all together in right dosage
Male | 20
It is essential to note your health and consult with a doctor before beginning any new protocol of supplementation. Hence, though there are some benefits to these supplements, when taking them together the risk of side effects increases. I highly suggest that one obtains the services of a dietician or nutritionist who will advise the correct dosage and possible interactions.

You may have reacted to the Dolo tablet you took. Sometimes, some individuals can be afflicted by such side effects as feeling cold, numbness in their head, or tingling feelings. The symptoms you are experiencing may well be due to an allergic reaction. You should stop taking the medication immediately and consult a doctor for assistance.

Mere sir pain hota hai 24 ghante
Female | 16
It could be because you did not get as much water as needed, were stressed, or watched the screen for hours. Headaches can also result from sleep deprivation or too much noise. If you want to reduce your pain to a minimum, you must turn to a peaceful place to relax and drink water. Also, if it doesn't relieve the situation by then, do consider talking to a Neurologist to sort out the cause and receive an accurate diagnosis.

I stapled my thumb at work on Friday. (Preschool classroom, the staples had briefly fallen on the floor prior). It was in there pretty well. I pulled it out, it did bleed, I cleaned it out with soapy water and then 50% isopropyl alcohol. I have not gotten a tetanus vaccine booster in the last 10 years. I have a doctor appointment on Monday. If I have been exposed to tetanus, will it be too late for me to get a booster? What are the chances I could have it now?
Female | 34
I urge you to see a doctor immediately. Tetanus toxoid is required to be administered within 5 days of injury like the one you have to prevent the disease. It is hard to say if the person gets tetanus or not without biomedical proof. You need to see a doctor who is a specialist in infectious diseases.
